Uhh, eyebrow waxing question?

Lol, im really know squat about things like this... But when they wax your eyebrows... Do they take off all the hair? How does it work? What if they accedentily take off all your eyebrows? And what is better, plucking or waxing, and why?Uhh, eyebrow waxing question?
When you get your eyebrows waxed, they don't take off all of your hair. They will shape it of what your face looks like. They go with what ';you'; look like. This is how it works: When you go in there they take the hott wax and put it on your eyebrow. They wont take off your whole eyebrow. They are professionals! They shouldn't do that..I get mine waxed about once a month if not then twice every two months. I think that after you get them waxed pluck everyday where she waxed so the hair doesnt grow back. Remember, they are professionals they know exactly what to do.Uhh, eyebrow waxing question?
my mom is an esthetician (aka waxer)


she in-depthly looks at the eyebrows and determines what hairs need to go and which ones need to stay


they shouldn't take hardly anything off the top of them (unless you want them ridiculously thin), just wax underneath the eyebrow over your eyelid and in between the 2 eyebrows


theres no way they could take off the whole eyebrow because they only put wax in the locations that need hair removal


but please beware because there are a ton of places out there that don't know what they are doing! and will make you regret getting it done


once it gets waxed it doesnt grow back for a while, but it is something that needs to be kept up with, so dont start unless you plan on continuing


plucking is not good for your eyebrows, or any hair on your body


it leaves a hole where the hair used to be and they end up growing back thicker.





good luck and be careful in choosing your esthetician!


(make sure they are a liscensed esthetician!!)
They put hot wax only on the bottom of your eyebrows, never on the top, just put a strip of paper on top, and pull.





Plucking and waxing both remove the roots of the hairs, so they essentially last for the same amount of time.





The people who wax eyebrows never ever let any of the wax into the wanted eyebrow hairs...don't worry. You have way more of a chance of going crazy with the tweezers and tweezing your eyes out than they do of removing your eyebrow.
When you get your eyebrows waxed, they put a little on just where the hair needs to come off to leave you with really nice, clean looking brows. Then, they pluck the little hairs that they can't get to because waxing in and of itself is too broad and would take off too much hair.





OR-you can get your eyebrows threaded...WAY CHEAPER. If you live in a big city, you'll probably be able to find an Indian (like people from India) beauty shop. They'll thread them there. It's a process which is the same as plucking except they used twisted thread to do it and it plucks out more at one time than a pair of tweezers can do.





Then there's plucking, which you can do yourself if you know what you want your results to be.





All three hurt a little, but the pain lessens quickly.





My suggestion...ask around for a good place to get them waxed. Don't pay more than $10! Get them waxed if it's your first time. Try the other methods as you get more experience and visit different salons. If you want to maintain your brows, you'll probably need a new wax every 2-3 weeks.





Happy waxing!
I once worked with a woman who had gone to a salon to have services done one of them was waxing. The girl/women doing the work on her took the whole thing off!!!! It was quite funny only because I didn't like the her. Just make sure that the person who is going to do the job on you is taking the situation seriously not gossoping or laughing or acting spacy.





Waxing works really well I tend do waxing when I am going out on a special occasion at least 1 1/2 wks prior.





The site below has great products to helpl you do it on your own by plucking of you can take a stencil to the person doing the work on you, to make sure you get a good result.
No they only take off certain parts so they can shape your eyebrow. They warm up the wax, then they spread the was on your eyebrow with a little stick, then they put strips on the your eyebrow and rip off the hair. They will not accidentally take off all of your eyebrow unless they don't know what they are doing, they only do certain parts at a time. Then they will pluck some of the little hairs off because it's too short to wax off. Waxing is better because it lasts longer. You will get use to it. At 1st it will sting for a while then it will be over.





Good luck
If you dont know much then go to a beautician and have them shaped the first time, if you can maintain them yourself with plucking then do so... if not keep getting them done professionaly! Eyebrows are one of the most important feature of your face so if your not sure.. dont do it!!!


They will only remove a bit of hair to define the shape of the arch in your natural eyebrow to start with! If they wax your whole eyebrow off I would Sue them.. its hard to make a mistake like that if you know what your doing!


Waxing and plucking is basically the same! both take the hair from the root one just does more at one time! I get mine waxed professionally every now and then and just maintain them by plucking out stray regrowth every few days! =)
when you get your eyebrows waxed, the person takes a strip of paper with wax on it and rubs it over only sections of your eyebrow at a time. like, first they do above the brow, pull it off. then they do below the brow, pull it off. and any other areas that need it.





they usually pull the paper on and off about 3-4 times per eye. after they wax both eyes, the stylist uses tweezers to get rid of any remaining stray hairs that the waxing didn't take off.





its pretty much impossible for them to take off all your eyebrows! :) unless the person you go to is completeley stupid... haha really, no worries that would never happen.





start with waxing. you really only need to wax once. if you like how they are shaped, look in the mirror at them every day. when you start to see the hairs growing back in (its obvious to tell, they are way shorter than the rest of the hairs) just pluck them out. its great because you know your not messing anything up, your just keeping them how they were before.





its great, and eyebrows make such a difference on your appearance. i deffinatly reccomend waxing and plucking.





oh and if by chance you dont like the way they are waxed, you can just pencil in some touches and let the hairs grow back. your eyebrows will be back to normal within 2 weeks.





good luck! :)
okay relax. they will not wax off your whole eye brow unless you tell them too. What they do is take some hot wax and put it on the hair you want removed. they put a cloth over the wax and press it on the wax. then they pull it off really fast pulling out the hairs. plucking is better because the wax clogs your pores and can sometimes burn your skin. i get my eye brows threaded which is an indian method of hair removal and its like plucking so its good for your skin.
Well, I pluck my eybrows, cuzz that way i can keep it the way I want without them looking different,..and besides if you wax a lot, your eyebrows will start sagging. Also, you will have to wait for all the hairs to fully grow out again before you get them waxed the 2nd time, but with plucking you can do it when ever. My mom had them waxed once and one of them wasto thin and short,...so now she just plucks em,...hope this helped! :)
dont worry they dont take all your eyebrows off, they are trained professionals. usually, i go to the nail salon with the chinese that do eyebrow.


waxing is better cause it last longer than plucking. also rub some alcohol on your eyebrows when they finish cause its going to itch that way if you scratch, you wont get bumps
Plucking is better. They won't take off all the hair. But you need to go to a good place in order to get it done right. Anything less will screw them up bad. Make sure you specify how u like your eyebrows (with an arch or not) and you should tell them if you don't want them too thin. It's worth the money to go to a good place. Ask around (friends, acquaintances) maybe someone can recommend a place.
Hi. Well, I use to pluck but I don't anymore. Cause when you wax they take the hair off that's not in place with your brow. This is done professionally so you don't have to worry about losing your eye brow. But, if you pluck you could accidently cause your eye brow to disappear. So i would profure waxing, just because its safer, quicker, easier!
They apply a hot wax to the area where the hair is to be pulled and rip the hair up; but it doesn't hurt. I like it better than eyebrow arching because during arching there is always the risk of getting cut. Oh, and the area that was waxed will be red for a while and it may sting a bit.
No they don't take off all the hair, they take off just enough to shape them. I pluck because I'm lazy. But it's cheap to get them waxed just around 12$ depending on where you go. They go to college to do this so it is unlikely they will screw up unless you go somewhere bad.
lol, no they dont wax off the whole thing, just go somewhere where u trust the people doing it and u will b fine, what i do is i only get my eyebrows waxed everyone once in a while then i just pluck the hair that grows in so i dont have to pay to get them waxed all the time
plucking is best as you can remove just the hairs you want.


In waxing, I have had that done several times, it doesn't leave a nice line. I would tend to say they take off less not more. It just doesn't look natural. Ice the area you want to pluck.
waxing feels a WHOLE lot better.


They just take off the hair that they think would shape your eyebrow well.


it takes off wherever they put the strip.


its not bad at all.


it hurts for 2 seconds. The worst part is the bottom.


But its not that bad.





good luck %26lt;3
You have to be really specific about what you want. One time i got it pretty screwed up so go to a place thats been around awhile.. theres this thing called threading that works the best. They do it in malls. Its ok to tweeze in between to keep it up.
They usually wax first and then they pluck afterwards to get the fine hairs...sometimes, depending on how often you get them done they don't need to wax and will just pluck them. It just depends on how well you maintain them. Good luck!!!
they wont. just dont do it yourself. yes the wax pulls the hair from its root, and it hurts a little. i love getting them waxed, it is so clean after... like all the little ones you cannot get with tweezers
